I m new to php and rabbitmq in debian(Linux). I have installed xampp, rabbitmq and also installed composer.phar in project directory using below command
/opt/lampp/htdocs/rabbitmq_demo# curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | /opt/lampp/bin/php
Now I use Composer to install the dependencies of the project using below command
composer.phar install
but it thrown an error as below
bash: php: command not found
I have preferred the link https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md
I want to prepare autoload.php
Please help me to create autoload under vendor directory.
You do not have a php cli program installed on your computer or it is not in your current $PATH variable. Please install PHP first or correct your $PATH environment variable.
Once you have this, run the composer.phar install again. This will download all dependencies listed in your composer.json file. Once the program completes, you will have a file ``vendor/autoload.php`. You can just require this file at the beginning of your own script and everything will be taken care of.
You need to add the path to the PHP command line (CLI) in the XAMPP install, to your bash environment. (You'd think the installer would do this!)
The XAMPP PHP CLI on Debian is at /opt/lampp/bin/php
So you need to add /opt/lampp/bin to your $PATH environment variable.
See this answer for the various options in modifying your path depending on who you want to be able to run PHP.
/etc/login.defs
/etc/environment
/etc/profile
~/.bashrc
In one of those files, you append to the path thus:
PATH=$PATH:/opt/lampp/bin
and re-login.
I need to install Composer on a shared hosting service. This service supports cURL, but does not support SSH access. As a result, I cannot run cURL commands from the command line.
Is it possible to install cURL without a command line? Perhaps a PHP script that I run only once?
Install the composer.phar file locally and then just upload it to your hosting provider.
Alternatively, you can download composer.phar from their website.
However, it's unlikely that you'll be able to run it. Unless you are using it programatically, I recommend you install all of your dependencies locally into a release branch/package and upload that to your hosting provider.
The download page of the composer site has instructions for those missing curl that only require php:
php -r "readfile('https://getcomposer.org/installer');" | php
The above is the recommended way, but alternatively if you don't want to run the installer and all the config checks it does, you can just download the phar file from https://getcomposer.org/composer.phar - either using your browser or via wget https://getcomposer.org/composer.phar (if you have access to wget).
Get the file from https://getcomposer.org/composer.phar
And then use with php prefix of every commands.
Example of a batch on windows OS:
C:\xampp\php\php composer.phar create-project laravel/laravel C:\xampp\htdocs\laravel42 4.2 --prefer-dist
You can also create a simple batch file to do it globally:
:: File Name should composer.bat
#ECHO OFF
SET PATH=%PATH%;%~dp0
setlocal DISABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
SET COMPOSER_PROCESS_TIMEOUT=5000
C:\xampp\php\php "%~dp0composer.phar" %*
Now you are able to use it VIA evnironment setup or directly to this batch file.
I am new to symfony2 and reading symblog. In third chapter while trying with data-fixtures I tried the command:
php composer.phar update
but I got the error:
Could not open input file: composer.phar
So I googled a little and tried
php composer.phar install
but still getting the same error. So please guide how to deal with this composer to install new extentions or bundles like data-fixtures in symfony2 using wamp.
If you followed instructions like these:
https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md
Which tell you to do the following:
$ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
$ mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
Then it's likely that you, like me, ran those commands and didn't read the next part of the page telling you to stop referring to composer.phar by its full name and abbreviate it as an executable (that you just renamed with the mv command). So this:
$ php composer.phar update friendsofsymfony/elastica-bundle
Becomes this:
$ composer update friendsofsymfony/elastica-bundle
I had the same problem on Windows and used a different solution. I used the Composer_Setup.exe installation file supplied by the composer website and it does a global install.
After installing, make sure your PATH variable points to the directory where composer.phar is stored. This is usually C:\ProgramData\ComposerSetup\bin (ProgramData might be a hidden directory). It goes without saying, but also be sure that the PHP executable is also in your PATH variable.
You can then simply call
composer install
instead of
php composer.phar install
Background
It is helpful to know that there are two ways to install (and use) Composer: locally as a file in your project directory, or globally as a system-wide executable.
Installing Composer locally simply means that you are downloading a file (composer.phar - which is a PHP Archive) into your project directory. You will have to download it for every project that requires Composer.
Like a regular PHP file that you want to execute on the command line, you will have to run it with PHP:
php composer.phar update
Which basically tells the php executable to run the file composer.phar with update as argument.
However, if you install it globally, you can make composer itself executable, so you can call it without php (and don't have to download it for every project). In other words, you can use composer like this:
composer update
Since you are executing php composer.phar update, and you are getting the error Could not open input file: composer.phar, you probably don't have composer.phar in your current directory.
Solution
If you have Composer installed globally, simply run composer update instead of php composer.phar update.
If you don't have Composer installed yet, download the PHAR using the following command:
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
This will download the installer and run it using php. The installer will download the actual Composer PHAR to your current working directory, and make it executable.
To install Composer globally (I recommend this), copy the file to a location in your PATH. The exact location differs per operating system and setup, see https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#globally for more information.
Personally, I prefer to install Composer in my home directory so I don't need sudo to install or update the composer executable (which can be a security risk). As I'm on Linux, I use the following command:
mv composer.phar ~/.local/bin/composer
If anyone else came this low on the page and still didn't find a working answer (like I did), use this:
$ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
$ mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer.phar
$ alias composer='/usr/local/bin/composer.phar'
$ composer --version
et voila! A working composer :-)
To solve this issue the first thing you need to do is to get the last version of composer :
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
I recommend you to move the composer.phar file to a global “bin” directoy, in my case (OS X) the path is:
mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer.phar
than you need to create an alias file for an easy access
alias composer='/usr/local/bin/composer.phar'
If everything is ok, now it is time to verify our Composer version:
composer --version
Let's make composer great again.
I found this worked as I did not have curl installed. On Windows 8 with XAMPP installed. It will add it to your local build I use .gitignore to avoid the repo
php -r "readfile('https://getcomposer.org/installer');" | php
I got it from here: https://getcomposer.org/download/
This worked for me:
composer install
Without
php composer install
Run the following in command line:
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
Yesterday I was trying to install Yii2 framework on Windows 10 and I have same problem(Could not open input file: composer.phar) running this command:
php composer.phar create-project yiisoft/yii2-app-advanced advanced 2.0.9
Issue is composer.phr file is not in current directory,you need to give full path composer.phr like
php C:\ProgramData\Composer\bin\composer.phar create-project yiisoft/yii2-app-advanced advanced 2.0.9
Or you can create yii2 project using this command:
composer create-project yiisoft/yii2-app-advanced advanced 2.0.9
Or
composer.phar create-project yiisoft/yii2-app-advanced advanced 2.0.9
I had the same issue. It is solved when I made composer globally available. Now I am able to tun the commands from any where in the folder.
composer update
composer require "samplelibraryyouwant"
Use this :
php -r "readfile('https://getcomposer.org/installer');" | php
Hi friends, follow the steps to fix this issue in MAC OS
Step 1: first run the command in Terminal with your project directory
$ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
Step 2: Move the composer.phar in your project directory
$ mv composer.phar /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/bashrushAPI/composer.phar
Step 3: Setup alias the composer
$ alias composer='/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/bashrushAPI/composer.phar'
Step 4: Check the composer version now
$ composer --version
Composer version 1.7.2 2018-08-16 16:57:12
Step 5: Confirm the project folders and file placed on bellow
$ ls
CONTRIBUTING.md docker-compose.yml templates
README.md logs tests
composer.json phpunit.xml vendor
composer.lock public
composer.phar src
Step 6: Now update composer
$ composer.phar update
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Nothing to install or update
Generating autoload files
Step 7: Run your sample project
$ php composer.phar start
php -S localhost:8080 -t public

Easy answer, navigate to the directory where you already have the composer.json file that you want to run (ideally your project folder) then download composer into the same folder, then instantly run the install command like so:
php composer.phar install
This will automatically find the composer.json and run your required scripts. Good luck. This stuff is a breeze for terminal wizards and totally bizarre to the rest of us
I am using windows 8.0. In my case to install or update i just use composer install or something else instead of php composer.phar. This worked for me
like
composer require google/apiclient:1.*
To googlers who installed composer via HomeBrew:
make a symbolic link for /usr/local/bin/composer
ln -s /usr/local/bin/composer /usr/local/bin/composer.phar
I got this error "Could not open input file: composer.phar" while installing Yii2 using below mentioned command.
php composer.phar create-project yiisoft/yii2-app-basic basic
Solutions which worked for me was, I changed the command to
composer create-project yiisoft/yii2-app-basic basic
I hope it help!
your composer.phar should be placed in above way.
For windows, I made composer.cmd and used the below text:
php c:\programs\php\composer.phar %*
where composer.phar is installed and c:\programs\php\ is added to my path.
Not sure why this isn't done automatically.
For Windows10 Pro, Following steps fix the issue. select properties check the Unblock program option. run the installer, run the command CMD with Admin rights. At command promp run composer --version to make sure it is globally installed. you should be able to now run composer require drush/drush This is for drush dependency using composer.
Command like this :
composer.phar require intervention/image
error: composer.phar: command not found
I solved the problem by following this process
i set the composer globally and renamed composer.phar to composer then run this command composer require intervention/image . and now it's working fine
Just open cmd as Administrator and go into your project folder and check it is working or not using composer command.
The above error is because of the composer is not accessible globally.
So you need to run "cmd" as Administrator.
This is working fine for me.
If you are using Ubuntu/Linux and you are trying to run
php composer.phar require intervention/image on your command line.
Use sudo composer require intervention/image instead. This will give you want you are looking for.
I had an issue getting a package.json's script to run composer dumpautoload.
I had the file /usr/local/bin/composer.phar, and also the file ~/.bash_profile (on OSX) contained:
alias composer="php /usr/local/bin/composer.phar"
This allowed composer to work from the command line, but it didn't allow scripts to execute composer.
The fix was this:
$ cd /usr/local/bin
$ mv composer.phar composer
$ sudo chmod +x composer // +x allows the file to be executable, such as by CLI scripts
But that yielded this error Could not open input file: /usr/local/bin/composer.phar
The fix was to update ~/.bash_profile (sudo nano ~/.bash_profile), and change the composer alias to:
alias composer="php /usr/local/bin/composer"
# ie: `.phar` extension removed
Now everything is behaving as expected.
Your composer.phar must be in Source files. I had same problem and I just cut my composer.phar into mine framework-standard-edition folder, where is my whole strong textproject.
if the composer is already install all you need is to know where the composer.phar file is (its directory) after that you move to your symfony project where you have the composer.json and from that directory you execute your composer.phar file. In windows here is what you have to do.
symfony project directory_where_composer.json_is>php the_directory_where_composer.phar_is/composer update
That's all
use two steps .
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
sudo php composer.phar update
You can do
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
The -sS flag meaning don't show progress, do show errors
and then
php composer.phar install

I've reach to this problem when trying to install composer on a Window 7 machine from http://getcomposer.org/download page. As there was an existing compose version (provided by acquia Dev Desktop tool) the installation fails and the only chance was to fix this issue manually. (or to remove Dev Desktop tool composer).
Anyway the error message is quite straightforward (Could not open input file: composer.phar), we should then tell the system where the file is located.
Edit composer.bat file and should look like:
#SET PATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\DevDesktop\php5_4;%PATH%
php.exe composer.phar %*
See that composer.phar doesn´t have a file path. When standing in a different folder than the one where composer.phar is located the system won´t be able to find it. So, just complete the composer.phar file path:
#SET PATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\DevDesktop\php5_4;;%PATH%
SET composerScript=composer.phar
php.exe "%~dp0%composerScript%" %*
Reopen your window console and that should do the trick.
EDIT: this has an issue because it always uses %~dp0%composerScript%
folder as composer execution. Then all configurations are done in that
folder (besides standing on your current project folder) and not in your project folder.
So far I haven't found a was to make a manual composer installation to
work globally on Windows. Perhaps you should go ahead with composer for windows installation mentioned above.
Do not access the composer by
composer composer.pher install
use
composer install
You can just try this command if you're already installed the Composer :
composer update
or if you want add some bundle to your composer try this :
composer require "/../"
I have these things:
the file http://api.odtu.lu/composer.phar
http://api.odtu.lu/phpinfo.php
ftp access
cPanel
Cron jobs on FreeBSD
PHP, Perl, CGI-BIN, Python, Curl.
How can I install Composer? (My aim is to install Restler)
Edit: I do not have SSH access.
This tutorial worked for me, resolving my issues with /usr/local/bin permission issues and php-cli (which composer requires, and may aliased differently on shared hosting).
First run these commands to download and install composer:
cd ~
mkdir bin
mkdir bin/composer
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
mv composer.phar bin/composer
Determine the location of your php-cli (needed later on):
which php-cli
(If the above fails, use which php)
It should return the path, such as /usr/bin/php-cli, /usr/php/54/usr/bin/php-cli, etc.
edit ~/.bashrc and make sure this line is at the top, adding it if it is not:
[ -z "$PS1" ] && return
and then add this alias to the bottom (using the php-cli path that you determined earlier):
alias composer="/usr/bin/php-cli ~/bin/composer/composer.phar"
Finish with these commands:
source ~/.bashrc
composer --version
It depends on the host, but you probably simply can't (you can't on my shared host on Rackspace Cloud Sites - I asked them).
What you can do is set up an environment on your dev machine that roughly matches your shared host, and do all of your management through the command line locally. Then when everything is set (you've pulled in all the dependencies, updated, managed with git, etc.) you can "push" that to your shared host over (s)FTP.
I have successfully installed Composer (and Laravel) on my shared hosting with only FTP access:
Download and install PHPShell on a shared hosting
In PHPShell's config.php add a user and an alias:
php = "php -d suhosin.executor.include.whitelist=phar"
Log in to PHPShell and type: curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
When successfully installed, run Composer: php composer.phar
You can do it that way:
Create a directory where you want to install composer (let's say /home/your_username/composer)
Go to this directory - cd /home/your_username/composer
Then run the following command:
php -r "readfile('https://getcomposer.org/installer');" | php
After that if you want to run composer, you can do it this way (in this caseyou must be in the composer's dir): php composer.phar
As a next step, you can do this:
alias composer="/home/your_username/composer/composer.phar".
And run commands like you do it normally: $ composer install
Hope that helps
I was able to install composer on HostGator's shared hosting. Logged in to SSH with Putty, right after login you should be in your home directory, which is usually /home/username, where username is your username obviously. Then ran the curl command posted by #niutech above. This downloaded the composer to my home directory and it's now accessible and working well.
SIMPLE SOLUTION (tested on Red Hat):
run command: curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
to use it: php composer.phar
SYSTEM WIDE SOLLUTION (tested on Red Hat):
run command: mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
to use it: composer update
now you can call composer from any directory.
Source: http://www.agix.com.au/install-composer-on-centosredhat/
Most of the time you can't - depending on the host. You can contact the support team where your hosting is subscribed to, and if they confirmed that it is really not allowed, you can just set up the composer on your dev machine, and commit and push all dependencies to your live server using Git or whatever you prefer.
I'm getting an error saying:
failed to clone https://github.com/php-fig/log.git, git was not found, check that it is installed and in your PATH env.
'git' is not recognized as and internal or external command, operable program or batch file
when I try and run composer create-project laravel/laravel learning-laravel.
I installed the git GUI which also comes with a command line shell, but I don't know why its not recognising the command (I'm issuing the create-project command in the normal windows command line prompt).
I also tried running the command from the git shell, which worked, but when I tried php artisan serve it gave me an error saying CLI has stopped working.
Does anyone know how to fix the git error? I'd rather use the windows command shell instead of the git one as it can then go into my wamp/www file
You need to add the directory you installed git to to your PATH environment variable.
Right click on Computer.
Click Advanced System Settings
Click Environment Variables inside the Advanced Menu
Under System Variables, scroll to PATH
Add ;"C:\path\to\git\bin";"C:\path\to\git\cmd"
Test the git command in the command prompt to see if it worked. Git is usually located in Program Files or Program Files(x86).
There is an easier (but temporal) way to add a path variable in Windows.
Paste this in your command prompt:
SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\Git\bin
This will work for the rest of the command prompt session. Don't forget installing Git before this.
You'll need to add git to your system PATH if you want to use it in regular command prompt.
Here's a guide on modifying your system path in Windows:
http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm
you need to uninstall git and reinstall ( or update ) in the options you need to change from git bash only to allow git to be added to command line as well, also since it then adds it to your path you may or may not need to restart your computer
I was having some issues using git on Windows. I found this information only and it worked for me.
